John Lee posted:Serious question: The doctor said I had 'tough tubes,' and would have to be put fully under It's probably the procedure as I described it above. The assistant (me) squeezes the testicle so that it pushes it up to stretch the scrotum over it, and then the doctor makes an incision along the scrotal raphe, the light-colored line that runs kinda down the middle of the scrotum and then gradually takes down tissue to reveal the testicle and "delivers" it through the incision (squeezes the whole thing out, in other words.) The vas deferens is isolated from the testicular body using a combination of electrocautery and good ol' finger massage to bluntly dissect the connective tissue (this is the part where the assistant (me) is holding your naked ball), then clamped with titanium clips near the epididymis and again about midway up the tube, and then the space in between is divided with scissors. Doctor looks it over, declares it good hopefully, and then tucks it all back in, and sews up the incision with an absorbable suture. Like some people above said, it is possible to do it under local anesthesia in the office, but that's not an option for everybody for one reason or another. Usually when we do them, the person is in for something else and is incidentally getting snipped because we're in there anyway. I also learned today that it is possible for the scrotum to form pearls, medically known as scrotoliths, because we found one.

That's an injection of a liquid that blocks up the vas deferens, which is quite different from a lock! e: you could say there's a vas deferens between the two. voiceless anal fricative has a new favorite as of 04:17 on Nov 1, 2023 |

I mean I shouldn't be surprised, but yep the Author didn't make that word up: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/platypusary posted:Etymology Although I've been to quite a few Aussie zoos and conservation parks and what not, and I can't ever remember seeing it. Not sure if it's just not in wide usage, or if all of them had it and my brain just never really took note.

Thank satan my doctor had a better / more modern method and/or my situation didn't require that process  I have a ~7mm incision on either side, quite close to my thighs. Within 24 hours I can go hours between accidentally triggering pain. Mostly it's just a problem when I bend down, roll over in bed, or, as I just learned, try to do a high pitched voice for my son. Kinda fun to learn my balls have a resonant frequency

bike tory posted:That's an injection of a liquid that blocks up the vas deferens, which is quite different from a lock!  I spent the weekend (they try to do vasectomies on Fridays) relaxing in my bathrobe, legs spread, with 3-lb bags of either frozen corn or frozen peas on my junk. Friday afternoon, a friend of my wife's stopped in to drop something off. I had dozed off. She was somewhat traumatized by the scene. Later, my wife explained it to her. I had it done so my wife did not have to.

timg because pee-pee https://www.thepaincomics.com/weekly120118.htm posted:The second cartoon was inspired by a cat of my acquaintance (not my own), who must currently wear such a cone following an unpleasant eye surgery. It is a demeaning situation, altogether ill-befitting a cat of his dignity and station in life. I doodled this image a year or more ago, and my cat friend's plight reminded me to pull it out and do a more polished rendering. As to this cartoon's meaning, again, I think we can all agree the less said the better. mod edit: put the teenie weenie behind a spoiler Somebody has a new favorite as of 01:08 on Nov 2, 2023 |

I still don’t understand why the second shot in the balls hurt worse than the first. The doctor said it almost is like that.

BrianBoitano posted:I... I didn't scroll down to the caption quickly and thought you did a marvelous job on me I wasn't offered Valium. Apparently, when we went to the required pre-surgical doctor's visit, one of the things they want to check is to see how the patient responds to having their sack handled. Those that respond...poorly, are prescribed Valium. After the procedure, a nurse was helping me put my shoes on (no bending!) and was surprised that I drove myself. She assumed I'd had Valium. I was somewhat put out that I was not offered some, which is when she explained about ball-handling shyness.

Roundabout posted:Apparently Messi is now considered one of the greatest football players of all time for what he did in Europe, but he never even played for the only European football team I've ever heard of. Messi playing the US is actually pretty funny now. He's getting old and doesn't run around as much so he just kinda wanders around looking disinterested until play breaks his way and he drops in an amazing pass or scores another 20yard screamer.

seems to me it would be easier recovery if they just took the balls completely out and threw them away, rather than just letting them swim around in there as useless weight

I got clipped last week and they did it with local anesthesia, it was weird. Like your junk is totally numb but the pain still refers upward into your stomach like you just got sack tapped. My urologist had a tech assisting, and (as is seemingly always the case with urology folks) they were both chill af and we had a lovely conversation the whole time. Anyway my left nut is still really sore, I need to figure out if I have epididymitis or a granuloma or something. Otherwise 10/10, would recommend.

Been about twelve years since I had mine done by, I poo poo you not, Dr. Johnson. Was a magnificent weekend. Played video games and watched tv by myself and had meals brought to me in the basement. My twins were small so my wife wanted me away so they didn't accidentally hurt me. Haven't had a weekend like that since, I joke about getting the other one done soon.
